Chapter 146

Just then, the shooting range door was pushed open, Lemuen peeked out, saying, "Oh, so you're here. I was wondering why I couldn't find anyone."

Upon hearing this, both Han Fei and Closure looked over.

Han Fei said, "Why are you here?"

"Because it seems like I'm no longer involved over there."

Lemuen walked in with a grin and said, "So I came to keep the boss company."

As they spoke, she naturally noticed the design drawings and immediately asked, "Boss, what are these?"

"The design is for your sister," Han Fei said. "I feel that your sister's offensive capabilities are undeniable, but her self-defense capabilities are a bit lacking, so I'm getting a tank. If necessary, it can also be used as a scapegoat for your sister."

"Uh, boss, are you worried about my older sister's close-combat abilities?"

Lemuen looked knowing and said, "Actually, my older sister's close combat ability isn't weak, but she'll definitely be very happy to know that you've put in this effort."

Finally, she said excitedly, "Should I tell her? She'll definitely be very happy about it."

"Tell her you can, but don't try to take credit for it."

Han Fei waved his hands repeatedly, saying it would be strange to try and claim credit for something that was still far from being finalized.

As for telling her, Han Fei never intended to hide it from her; Closure was going to collect user proposals later.

"Oh, okay."

Lemuen understood what Han Fei meant and immediately became much more subdued, saying, "But could we change this weapon? The grenade launcher doesn't look very cool."

"Of course we need to change it."

Han Fei readily agreed, pointed to the M250, and said, "Change the plan to this one."

"Huh?!"

Lemuen's eyes lit up immediately. She had personally handled the M250, albeit at the shooting range, and knew very well how brutal the gun was.

When Han Fei mentioned that the main weapon would be replaced with the M250, she immediately perked up and said, "Boss, you're a genius! Using this is so much cooler than using a grenade launcher!"

"I can already foresee those guys who went after my older sister getting torn to shreds by the M250."

At this point, Lemuen realized something else, paused, and cautiously asked, "But boss, can we handle the energy expenditure?"

"If I remember correctly, this gun only uses level 4 ammo, right?"

Ammunition has always been a problem, since the family is poor and using only level 4 bullets to spray water would be quite expensive.

To save money, she always used white eggs in the last round of Lemuen!

"Yes."

Han Fei replied, "This gun does indeed only have level 4 ammunition, but who cares? As long as it hits the enemy, we won't lose out."

The only way to avoid losing money on bullets is to die inside them. Otherwise, as long as you're eating well, even if you use gold bullets to eliminate bots, you won't lose money if you manage to get out.

Closure didn't quite understand what a level 4 bullet was, but she could easily grasp the conversation between Lemuen and Han Fei, so she asked:

"Should I think of a solution to the ammunition consumption problem? I can consider working on the weapon itself to reduce ammunition consumption."

"No need."

Han Fei shook his head repeatedly. The M250's rate of fire was already slow; if it were adjusted further, it would probably become a tortoise.

Let's not end up sitting at the same table as those flamethrowers.

"It's good that you have an idea," Closure said. "Anyway, we haven't reached the critical moment of research and development yet, and there are still many opportunities to revise the plan."

"Let's leave it at that for now," Han Fei said.

He is quite satisfied with the current plan; at least it is on track to be the catering truck he envisioned.

Lemuen was very clever. Seeing that the opportunity was right, she immediately said, "Boss, I also request to bring all level four missiles next time."

Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "Rejected."

"Huh?!"

Lemuen immediately pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Why? It can use all level 4 ammunition."

"Because it hasn't been built yet."

Han Fei's answer was incredibly confident and assertive.

Who knows when the tanks from Laotai will be built, let alone have all level 4 ammunition.

Even if the eggs are all black, it won't have any impact on the current situation.

But Lemuen is different. If you promise her all level 4 ammo, then the next round will really be all level 4 ammo.

Given Lemuen's rate of ammo consumption, we need to prepare many sets of spare ammo for her; this is truly unbearable.

It's not time for Lemuen to just randomly use high-level weapons.

--A fight, not a game, but a whole fight, will consume at least two to three sets of bullets.

In this situation, the fact that all four missiles were being used to treat Haf Coins as worthless is somewhat ironic.

Han Fei isn't that wealthy yet.

However, looking at Lemuen's aggrieved little face, he reached out and pinched it, saying, "A full four-ball strategy is really not feasible, but a guaranteed three-ball strategy is still no problem."

"Yeah?"

Lemuen's eyes lit up. The energetic girl was easy to please; she immediately forgot her worries and said with a grin, "Great! Thank you, boss!"

She excitedly hugged Han Fei, then explained, "I really didn't want to use level 1 ammo anymore. Before, all I got were white icons indicating no armor penetration, which really annoyed me!"

Level 3 ammunition isn't very expensive; a single shot costs only a few hundred yuan, and a whole stack isn't even worth as much as a small gold coin.

But Han Fei really didn't have any money before. After paying the entry fee in the last game, he couldn't even afford half a set of blue bullets, let alone a full set.

"I won't use it next time."

Han Fei chuckled and said, "To be honest, this trip to the Babel was quite abstract even to myself."

The white egg's aggressive attack on top-secret information—who can say it's not mysterious?

It's not even a Lion King build; it's still a team with four full sets of equipment.

"Hey-hey."

Lemuen said with a grin, "Actually, it might be better to fight against opponents who aren't that strong. The opponents we've faced this time are all quite formidable."

"Hmm, next time I'll take you to the regular area, and see you dominate with your white eggs," Han Fei said with a smile.

"I don't want to wreak havoc, I just want to touch the treasure," Lemuen laughed. "Touching the treasure is the most important thing; fighting is just secondary."

"Little glutton."

Han Fei pinched her cheek and said, "By the way, Xiao Le, you like music, right? Can you help me put together a rock piece?"

"Huh?"

Lemuen blinked, wondering why her boss would have such a request.

"I want to add this rock music to the tank."

Han Fei said seriously, "That way, as soon as the enemy hears a loud, powerful rock music, they'll know we're here!"

Volume One: Chapter 180: Time

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Lemuen scratched her head. This was the girl who could sing and play the guitar at her own graduation ceremony.

Playing a rock song shouldn't be a problem.

The only problem is...

"But boss, we don't have any equipment," Lemuen reminded her. "There's no equipment at the base, and I don't have any musical instruments either."

"Buy it."

Han Fei said softly, "Didn't you want a guitar before? Let's buy it later."

"Yay!"

Lemuen's smile grew even brighter; this carefree, energetic girl found happiness in the simplest things.

At this point, Closure said, "I roughly understand what's going on with the trading post."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei and Lemuen looked at Closure simultaneously.

Under their gazes, Closure said in a relaxed tone, "I have a basic understanding of what can be sold and what cannot be sold. I will keep safe those materials that I haven't seen in the trading house, as well as the red items you specifically mentioned."

"As for common gold items like gold coins and gold cups, I'll sell them all for you to get more Haf Coins."

Is this okay?

"Great."

Han Fei nodded emphatically and said, "Let's proceed with this plan."

"Good."

Closure then looked at Lemuen and said, "Regarding the music the boss wants, you can try to make a list for me, and I will help you purchase the necessary equipment."

"Huh?"

Lemuen blinked, somewhat bewildered.

Closure could guess what Lemuen was thinking, after all, her expression was quite telling.

So she stepped forward and said, "Hello, let me reintroduce myself. I am Closure, the newly appointed head of logistics."

"By the way, I discovered that I can get discounts when I purchase through the Terra interface in the trading house, but the specific discount seems to need to be negotiated by myself."

"Hello, I'm Lemuen!"

Lemuen shook hands firmly with Closure, making Closure's clothes tremble.

Closure was clearly not shy. In front of the enthusiastic Xiao Le, she showed no shyness at all, but instead acted as if she were already familiar with her and started chatting with Lemuen.

Han Fei didn't bother them. It was good for his own operatives to get to know each other better. It was better for them to be familiar with each other sooner rather than later, even though they were in the same base, they were like two strangers.

He silently walked out of the firing range, brought up the interface, thought for a moment, and decided to upgrade the command center to level 4.

This command center always brings surprises with each upgrade; it's always a good idea to upgrade it if you have spare money.

As for the other things, let's put them aside for now.

Once the command center is upgraded to level 4, he will have a level 4 command center, a level 2 warehouse, and a level 1 Special Operations Center except for the collection room and diving center.

By any measure, it deserves the description of being "initially taking shape".

However, the command center at this point is not something that can be upgraded in the blink of an eye.

Han Fei will have to wait a while.

There was no point in just waiting, so I strolled back to my dorm to see what everyone else was doing.

As it turned out, I didn't see them in the dormitory, but I did see them in the cafeteria.

Lemuen and Texas sat side by side, Theresa was opposite Lemuen, and a little further away, Ines stood alone in the corner with her arms crossed.

Han Fei strode over and sat down next to Texas, asking, "What are you talking about?"

"Just some old news."

Theresa glanced at Han Fei, her eyes full of tenderness, "I've lived a longer life, so I have some interesting stories to share with you all."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei's expression became somewhat subtle.

Is that a longer period of time? It was two hundred years!

However, Han Fei naturally wouldn't bring this up on his own initiative, and said with a smile, "Seeing that you two get along well, I'm relieved."

"Princess Theresa is a very gentle person," Lemuen said softly. "So, don't worry too much about us."

"Uh-huh."

Han Fei nodded slightly and said, "By the way, Sister An, I've prepared a treasure for you, but it's still under development. Closure will come to find you later."

"Baby?"

Lemuen was somewhat surprised.

Texas's gaze immediately fell on Han Fei.
